Abstract

This Act authorizes the adoption of sound, effective, and proportionate measures to mitigate the disruption of key social functions due to the Covid-19 outbreak, and to mitigate adverse impacts on the population, businesses, public sector, or society at large. This Act does not apply if such purposes can be met through normal law-making in Congress. The Regulations adopted in accordance with this Act cannot infringe constitutional guarantees. Restriction of rights can only be done to the extent that they are compatible with the Constitution, the Human Rights Act and Norway's international law obligations.
